Just bought a Hobart Handler 135 to do my patch panels. I also picked up a bottle of autoweld gas and a roll of ER70-6 in .023, sure makes a nice bead. I have to replace the cab corners and lower sid

a friend of mine replaced the cab corner on my '57, he cut it out the same shape and size of the patch panel, he didnt cut the patch at all, and butt welded it up, he didnt use one bead, it did a lot

Ross, I've done it both ways, but I was most pleased when I butt welded the new metal in. The lap joint just leaves more area to deal with, more possible areas for rust to start again, and of course

The easiest way to do it, especially if you can't see the back side, is to cut the old metal about 1/2" in from the outside of the patch panel. Eastwood and others sell a flanging tool made from a vi

This method sounds like it could be a good way to go, because if the cut for a butt weld is not close enough then it would take extra welding time and possibly warp the sheet metal more the desired.

I tell you, I have those vise grips that will flange a patch panel, and you will have forearms like Arnold after doing a bunch of panels with them. Unless your panels are 22 gauge or lighter. If you

Just looked at the flanger on the Eastwood site and it does look kind of under powered with the short handles, where could I get the pneumatic tool you talked about. Btw I will butt weld the panels i

The panel flanging tool is an excellent tool in helping with panel replacement. I would like to suggest looking at JC Whitney for the flanging tool because the same tool is $15 less. http://www.jcwhi

This may have been mentioned in an earlier reply, but one advantage to butt welding is that you leave no place for water/moisture, etc., to get in and start rusting again. Butt welding may take more

The problem with flanging is rust. If you do go this route, seal the back with urethane seam sealer. oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
